Transatlantic
Drift explores the emergence and evolution of nightclubs and
electronic dance music from the 1950s onwards. It traces the rhythmic journey
of dance music, following the pulse as it bounced between Europe, North
America and the Caribbean. Music, dance styles and nightclub spaces are not
created in isolation; they are shaped by collective influences and shared
experiences. This book uncovers the interconnected story of dance music,
taking in hotspots such as New York, Detroit, London, Manchester, Chicago,
Düsseldorf and Ibiza. Transatlantic Drift offers an
engaging exploration of how people have come together to share melodies and
rhythms, forming a global conversation through electronic music.
